Beyond Good And Evil (2003)

This game became an instant cult classic, not just because of the golden era in which it was released, but due to its extremely memorable characters and tight experience. With Beyond Good and Evil, it's clear that Ubisoft went for quality, not length, but it did so inside of a unique world. In this action adventure title, you play as a Jade, a photographer and lighthouse keeper on the planet Hillys, supported by your uncle, a talking pig. Fighting an alien force known as the DomZ, you travel through a world designed by Michel Ancel, creator of the Rayman series. His expertise shows in this title, with textures and models beyond their time and a masterful combination of stealth, puzzles, action, and adventure. However, the writers need just as much credit as Ancel. Beyond Good and Evil will wrap you up completely in its story, a layered conspiracy full of emotion and personality. The exotic and quirky feel of the characters and world never fails to amaze, and with the sequel just announced, now is the perfect time to jump back into it.
